Cats Eye

Brain remembers and recollects things not just by storing entities, but also by adding various attributes like sound, colour, feature etc. to it. Like wise, the feel of going to gym starts when I first hear the distinct sounds- galloping beat from the treadmill, the 'ting' of the dropping weight, the continuous rumbling of motors. Even though the gym wouldn't be far from where I hear the sounds, the sounds serve as a beacon. At times, the noise proof glass doors turned off the beacon. But still, I would have a visual reasoning of why. Not just the sound, the people, and their traits are another feature of it. The middle-aged women walking in with a cookie, the fit guy who runs with small weights, the girl who lifts heavy weight, the lean man who walks past the window and, the earphone women who comes and leaves by the stroke of clock hands are never changing signs.

After a brief hiatus, I resumed gym today. When I was walking towards the Gym, I could not hear the beacon. But, the doors were wide open. I entered the gym, to my surprise it was just filled with air and equipments. It seemed like devoid of energy. I had been to it through lean and rush hours, but it was never empty. Though I started my routine, I could not control the soliloquy. I asked myself serious of questions. Like, "Is the world coming to an end? And I am the only person who was not informed about it. Or, Is it because of Good Friday? People wanted to save the day for their families rather then spending time here." But it didn't sound right, because I could still see people jogging outside through the window. “Or, people just quit because I was missing for more than couple of days". When I was still thinking on that line, Gym started flocking slowly. I laughed at myself. In many occasion, we think we are the drive for even natural causes. It is like a cat thinking that the world becomes dark, when it closes eyes.
